About:

I am a distinguished real estate entrepreneur and business development executive with over 20 years of leadership experience spanning the life sciences and real estate industries. As Founder and Managing Partner of Blackstone & Birch Partners, operating under Compass Real Estate, I have established myself as a transformative force in Chicago's real estate market, specializing in serving underrepresented communities including the LGBTQ+ community, affluent Chicago professionals, and first-time immigrants.

Professional Excellence: I bring a unique blend of analytical rigor from my engineering background and client-centered service philosophy to real estate. Licensed in Illinois since 2021, I have rapidly built a reputation for transparency, authenticity, and educational approach to real estate transactions. My business operates across Chicago's premier neighborhoods including Hyde Park, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Bronzeville, Andersonville, and surrounding suburbs.

Industry Leadership: Prior to real estate, I distinguished myself as a Key Account Manager and Sales Director in the life sciences sector, managing multi-million dollar portfolios for global companies including Tetra Pak and JBT Corporation. My expertise in process optimization, organizational change management, and strategic business development has been instrumental in my real estate success.

Community Impact: My commitment to community extends beyond business, having served as House Committee Chair for the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (Chicago Chapter). My real estate practice emphasizes inclusivity and empowerment, with specialized programs including the Pride Referral Program and Legacy Builder Program designed to build generational wealth through real estate.

Vision & Growth: Currently scaling Blackstone & Birch Partners towards higher heiights, I represent the next generation of real estate leadership—combining traditional relationship-building with innovative technology and inclusive business practices.
